The Gaiam Premium Print Reversible is a 6mm TPE yoga mat with a reversible design—metallic sun & moon print on one side, solid color on the reverse. Material: closed-cell TPE (thermoelastomer), low-odor and latex-free. Thickness: 6mm provides good cushioning for joints while maintaining stability. Grip: textured surface offers solid traction when dry; performance diminishes when wet or sweaty. Size & weight: 68" L × 24" W (standard), weighing ~3.5 lbs—portable with no built-in carry strap (sold separately). Reversible design appeals to home practitioners wanting style variety. Best for: beginner-to-intermediate yoga, Pilates, and floor workouts at home; works well for non-heated classes. Durability: TPE holds up reasonably but occasional reports of edge curling or minor surface wear over extended use. Eco credentials: TPE is low-toxicity and phthalate-free, though not natural rubber. Mid-range pricing reflects decent quality without studio-grade claims.
